Duncan is vastly knowledgeable about triathlon, a lot of it built on his own racing experience (he has raced at the World Championships 3 times) and his approach is very thorough. He does not compromise on the access he affords to his clients and tunes into your personal circumstances in order to tailor your training around them. The enthusiasm and passion which he injects into his coaching is virtually limitless – if just a fraction rubs off on you, I guarantee training and racing will be that much more pleasurable (even 15×1 minute flat out reps on the turbo!).
Duncan is very committed to his coaching and he does expect that commitment to be reciprocated – but why would you go to the expense of hiring a coach if you’re not willing to follow the programme? With more time to work with, we’re already building towards 2017…

“Duncan is hands down the best coach I’ve worked with in my career as a triathlete. He helps keep me focused on what’s important, nudge me when necessary to keep the hammer down and make sure I’m having fun along the way. To have access to a 3 time world championsip qualifier and one of the top running coaches in the business is an incredible competitive advantage.”

"As a motivated age grouper, I knew that I needed the proper guidance if I was going to succeed as a triathlete at the elite level. After emailing and calling around the U.S. and the Europe to several top coaches, Duncan was my first choice. Not only did his extensive athletic backgrounds and knowledge get my attention, but his unique determination to guide me to my goals really stood out. He will go beyond the call of duty to provide their athletes with all of the tools necessary to achieve their goals and much more. By tailoring a program specifically designed with the athletes goals in mind, achieving personal records and completing lifelong goals becomes possible no matter if you are a first timer or seasoned professional."

Duncan’s style of coaching is refreshingly different to the traditional approach. His intuitive understanding of personality combined with his huge experience of everything triathlon and endurance sport means that he can truly tailor the coaching to meet your personal needs.
As an age grouper and a relative newcomer to the sport I have found this 1-2-1 coaching style to be most effective.
He is never too busy to respond to my innumerable questions and always goes the extra mile to exceed his client’s expectations. I know it is a bit of a cliché but his passion for all things triathlon is hugely infectious and I would whole heartedly recommend his services to anybody who needs advice, assistance, or a full coaching service.

Right where to start. Being coached by Duncan over the last year has helped me grow as an athlete and as a person, because his ability to diagnose my physical and psychological limiters is in my opinion second to none! His highly enthusiastic, focussed and driven nature provided me with a source of information and motivation which enabled me to follow the programme that Duncan had developed and resulted in multiple PB’s throughout the year, culminating in achieving a 5:09 Half IM which was right on target. Take up the opportunity to be coached by Duncan (If there are any spaces left), you won’t regret it!”

I was aware of the progress a friend had made working with Duncan and, with my preparations for Ironman Germany having stalled, thought I would try working under the guidance of a coach for the first time.
This proved to be a very wise move. In the limited training time available, I ended up setting a PB. But, of greater value, were the lessons in how to train and prepare for and then race an ironman (…I can’t say I always obeyed the lessons, but there was certainly no lack of guidance).
